FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package version-info
Version info parser
This small library solves a problem where a package wants to know or report own version.
This is not a new problem, e.g. there's ocramius/package-versions, but it depends heavely on Composer, and not without an associated IO penalty.
On the contrary, this package solves the same problem but without any extra IO whatsoever. What you need is to instruct Git to expand placeholders (detailed instructions below) when adding a file with a constant to an archive of a tagged release. Then you feed this constant to the library, and there is your version.
Sure, you can't be certain people always install a package from archives. In this case you can use
either abovementioned ocramius/package-versions, or
use two auxillary classes this library provides to fetch version strings right from Git or from a branch
alias from composer.json.
Installation
This library needs PHP 7.4 or greater. It was tested to work under PHP 7.x and 8.0.
Usage
Create a PHP class (or use existing class) with the following constant:
Amend .gitattributes with a path to the file with the class with export-subst attribute:
Where you want to know your version, call a version reader:
That's all!
Testing
To verify that your version constant is being correctly replaced you can use git archive command, pointing it at a tag, or a branch:
The constant should contain something like:
Fallback readers
Apart from PlaceholderVersionReader there are GitVersionReader and ComposerBranchAliasVersionReader. See this example for details.
Memoization
Any of these classes do not do their own memoization. If you need memoization and lazy loading, try Later, a deferred object manager.
